Haunting and beautiful, I hear you, I am going through similar shifts and acceptances, the mirror of all you speak about. All the losses, all the struggles, disappointments, but trying to get beyond while letting it all go. This world, 'whirled' , is exhausting, so heavy, always testing us, pushing us, trying to suck us down, in this illusory fiction we're trapped within and the darkness that holds much and the growing number of disconnected souls; we lose everything in the end and very little turns out as we hoped, but we keep walking, we keep going, remembering, connecting, making it through our own individualized labyrinth, trying to remember who we are and that this is not our home, it never was. You're right, there really is nowhere to go in the end, nowhere is free from the influence, but it seems Mexico is one of the better spaces to be in; it must be hard to leave everything behind and go somewhere new, I wish you well. I love your images, but it is so hard to break through in this world, we can only do what we can do and live our truth the best we can. Your dog is beautiful, animals are true soul mates.

Pretty piece full of elegiac surrender.

Wishing you the best on the next leg of your journey. You have a good companion. Keep posting.

P.S. Your pictures deserve a wider audience.

You say you go alone, but I know different…. because just like I hold you in my “spirit” I know in the circle of the lodge praying, you hold so many. I’m with you.

We come in alone and we go out alone, but yes it is just one side of the coin, i tend to believe...we are never truly alone....how could we be, everything is connected to everything.....but sometimes one feels alone (-: ......thanks Melinda, i feel the same for you.
